[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 15961, member: 487"] DD, I'm not sure if a booster would do anything for depth, would be the same depth just a boosted signal. I'm really not sure what is in these boosters, but they are more than likely just a basic equaliser and/or audio compressor/limiter. Sometimes compressing and boosting any audio signal will raise any unwanted noise also such as ground noise. Would more than likely make a faint good signal stand out, but could also mask an even fainter one. Horses for courses with these. I always prefer a pretty clean audio signal path, less processing equals less noise, just me though. If you suffer from Tinnitus or a similar condition from years of loud noise a booster could be a good thing. Not beeing cheeky, it happens a lot and is irreversable hearing damage. [/QUOTE]
